What are some stupid things you have convinced people? Here are some examples:
OK, that is officially the funniest thing I've seen or heard all week and that includes the time I convinced my girlfriend that sheep hibernate cause they get their wool coat shaven off and it's too cold otherwise

I convinced somebody at work today that I think that it says in the Bible (Corinthians 1:27 to be specific) that giraffes are the spawn of satan.

A friend convinced a girl that the Milka chocolatte is made with real purple cow`s milk. She was 17 or 18. She went straight home to ask here dad about it. :crazyeye:

My father and I convinced a random girl (around 18 years of age, so about as old as Stormy's one ;)) that horses eat rabbits, using the reasoning that this is why they run so fast, so they could eat the rabbits that hide quickly. :lol: The worst part is that her family owned both horses and rabbits, and she ran to tell them not to keep the rabbits too close to the horses!! :lol:

Oh and I convinced my mother that Hammurabi is a football player, and "The Code of Laws of Hammurabi" is the book he wrote when he became a referee. :rotfl: But my mother was never the most intelligent person in the world. :p

I managed to convince a girl I know that blondes were dumber than others because stupidity unleashed a chemical in your body which was a base, making your hair paler :)

I've been able to convince two people that over Christmas, some psycho with green fur disguised himself as Santa, broke into my house, and took all the presents, Christmas tree, stockings, and Who Beast for the feast.:santa2:

I have convinced several people that the word gullible is not in the dictionary.

I've been able to convince people that there is something on their face many times.It's funny telling them they haven't got it off yet.

I've told several people that endorphins were originally found in dolphins, and that that is what made them so happy and jump in the air, and that the word we use today, 'endorphins', is just a corruption of 'in dolphins.'

I've been able to convince people that if you don't eat any food, your inner organs might come out of your body during a toilet visit. :rotfl:

But what will push them out? :lol:

13? Nah, she's older, way older. Go for it, champ.

Drunken friends are way too easy to convince.

I convinced A girl chalk was edible and that, at that very moment, i was eating some... she beleived me, we told her that it was good for the brain, and that i was in Honors and AP classes because i had eaten Chlak as a child. (putting in some crap about the carbon structure affecting nerve cells, or some other such nonsense)

she was this close to eating some.... :lol:

(but the teacher had to ruin it :sad:

though, even then, i almost convinced her again... after all, what does a spanish teacher know of biology and Chemistry)

My brother still thinks that I speak French.

I also one day convinced a 16 year old girl that if she pushed a statue's nose the statue would talk.
She ran and pushed the nose, nothing happened, she pushed again...She looked so humiliated that I felt really bad.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Uh, erm, were you talking about a specific statue, or did you mean any statue...

I convinced a kid to give me a dollar for a cent.

Maybe he liked the color brown?

No, I told him it was the first penny ever made, and he didn't bother about the date on the front of it.

My father convinced some random colleague of his (girl, again, why is it always girls that can be convinced of these things??) about 20 years ago that when they were supposed to write a report on what they have been doing in the past week (the so-called "compulsory voluntary work" <- this part is actually real), when they had to plant trees in the gardens of random important people (that's what a research team is for, right? :p) to write "We have been digging the graves of members of the beloved National Communist Party, because the cemetery has ran out of room". Luckily, he stopped her before delivering that, or she might have been in prison for "insulting". :p

I convinced a person that Indiana is how Indians refer India as.
The same person was convinced that China is a continent
and black gold is Gold painted in black paint.

I once convinced someone that this kid from another class who came into our classroom was just a hallucination. I'm pretty sure he was high at the time; I saw him take a lot of pills.

Today I convinced something like five people that an electrolyte was the name of the the process by which an electric current flows through light.

Chemistry exams :love: :love:

;)

I have convinced a person that light is a wave.

Light travels in waves. It also travels in particles, but also waves. Nobody knows why. Except Rodney McKay.

I convinced my blond waitress that Bigfoot was a dinosaur.

Light travels in waves. It also travels in particles, but also waves. Nobody knows why. Except Rodney McKay.

Photons have a wave effect.

I convinced several people that 'fledescherous' was a word.

If people use it, it is a word.

A friend of mine once convinced someone that the German national anthem is simply saying "Deutschland" over and over to the tune.

I convinced 20 people today, to go to my link in my signature.

I've convinced (till now) 82 people to check my signature's link (http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?GarbageinHere)

That's nothing. I've convinced over 630 people.

I convinced one of my friends that gullible was not in the dictionary. Not much, but it's more than nothing.

i told this one dude that he thougt it was the wrong year and he believed me!

Chalk is edible.

You didn't. That was at that horrible site? People was tempted to go there, not convinced...

Boaster!

I once told someone that the phrase "Ich bin japanisch" is how you ask for a washroom in Russia

funny to me but I suspect few others....

HUH??? What does that mean? (it's not russian, i checked ;))

its German for "I am Japanese" not sure if I spelled it right though

Some guy convinced an amazingly good French guitarist to come to me smiling and tell me "I am a whore" in Romanian, as he was told it means "good evening". :lol:

I recently convinced a guy that I am an American undercover agent over a PM. :lol:

You've got me to thank for that. I started that rumor, ya' know! :p

I recently convinced a guy that I am an American undercover agent over a PM. :lol:

of course you could just be listing that in order to keep your cover :mischief:

I, and some others, recently convinced a girl (who already thought Brazil was in the United States, and who didn't know where Finland is) that the Amazon river goes from Finland, through America, to Africa.

Our school is going to organize a trip to Finland or something (maybe), so we also told her to watch out for the piranhas there.

I convinced my friends over Gmail that I hacked their school's public access files. :lol:

(There was no such thing as public access files)

If it was public access you wouldn't need to hack.

Me and my semi-sorta-not-really-step-cousin were blowing bubbles with my brother, and we convinced him that they were edible and had different flavors. It was really funny watching him label the ones he had just sampled as "Strawberry" and "Lemon." Possibly the funniest thing I ever saw.

I participated in a debate, and convinced most of the room to believe in intelligent design.

They have edible bubbles! I used to get them all the time when I was a kid! Good stuff.

Dammit! Good job, how'd you do it, and when are you going to reverse the damage?

:lol: It was easy. I just spouted all the usual "evilution is random" crap that I copied from the discovery institute. After I won I told everyone it was total bull, and they were understandably a bit sheepish.

(Quite frankly, I found the entire thing quite frightening. If I can, with my modestly proficient speaking ability, convince people to believe a lie, what can those who are more talented, reach a larger audience, and do not retract their statements do?:scared: It gives me the heebe-jeebes.)

Well kudos to you, but hopefully the reason they believed you was just because they're young. Did you have a worthy opponent? If not that helps your case, either way, still not good, but then again, thats the premise of this thread!

People try to convince me about stupid things/"facts" because I have a face that looks like I believe everything people tell.
Truth is I know better, and knowing that the "liar" is not wisher than the lies he tells :)

I convinced my little brother that Snickers Bars were made by taking a very large bar of choclate/peanuts/caramel/etc. and driving trucks over it to compress the all the flavor into a little Snickers size bar. I said this was where the texture on the bottom of Snckers came from, and that I knew all of this because I saw it on the History Channel show Modern Marvels: Snickers.

They have edible bubbles! I used to get them all the time when I was a kid! Good stuff.




You've got to be kidding me! I'll have to tell Hunter. Not that' he'll believe me...or maybe he will...he's not that bright, after all...hehehe...

Bring two bottles. Eat the good ones yourself, then let him have the soapy ones. Tell him it takes a man to handle the stuff.

That reminds me of the TV show Scrubs, where every single time they mentioned childbirth (at least 3 that I saw) they would gleefully mention the high probability of inadvertant defecation.

Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys!!!!! Me and Dad just convinced my brother that this show, Prehistoric Park, a mocumentary where this guy goes back and gets dinosaurs to bring to this ficticious park, is REAL!!! He told his friend about it, who compleatly bought in, and even after me and dad told him it wasn't real, he remains convinced.

i have convinced my friend that Finland Is a fish

I have convinced one stupid girl of my old school that the card deck and ALL card games were invented by Albert Einstein.

Why does it always seem to be girls that get convinced? :p

I somehow convinced my gf that I would die of a heart attack in a few years because I had too much enzyme pressure xD

I convinced my sister that 'gullible' was misspelled in the dictionary. :mischief:


I still rub it in time to time.

I ate all of my mom's wafers. When she realized this she accused me of doing this. I managed to make her think it was my brother.

For a couple of weeks ago I was on my way home on a schooltrip to germany. We were in Denmark, just before we arrived at the boatstation before taking a boat back to Norway. Bored of the bustrip I had some fun with another girl.
We convinced a friend that he had make up in his face and that we had just put it on him before he waked up. As he is a pushover, he belived us. But then he took a photo of his own face with a cellphone, and saw that there was no makeup there.
But as naive and pushover as he is, it didn't take long before we had him beliving that he just didn't couldn't see it on his 5 megapixel mobile camera as the camera wasn't good enough. Hysterically for us he belived us. We talked abit with him for fun, and it didn't take long before he "confessed" that it wasn't the first time he weared makeup, as he for a year ago was very boored... After one hour or so we arrived at the station, and he went into the toilet to check and wash off his makeup. Of course he didn't find any, but when he came back I got a friend asking him why he had makeup in his face, and we fooled him again. Even after he checked in a mirror and on a photo of himself.

At 9, it was dinner, and he still belived that he makeup in his face. He actually said; "I forgot to wash it off my face, i probably look stupid now" when I met him inn the resturant on the boat. Talking with him on the dinner, he even agreed to wear a dress in the bar the same night. Just because I and the girl said it would create a memory that we would never forget, and its just for fun".

Pushovers are really fun sometimes.

A few years ago I convinced the smartest girl in my class that broccoli is a fruit

A few years ago I convinced my brother that a Sim has a kind of people who did everything that they're told and that they were always obsessed with llamas, though they didn't wanted to ever buy them...

probably, at the time, he was playing too much Sims...
